Drowning Him In Regret novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 The Last Mission

The police were also a bit awkward, but in the end, they nodded and promised to let me know if they got any updates.

As they took Douglas away, I quietly followed along.

1 asked, “Officer, Grover definitely pointed to Vivian as the mastermind. I want to know what he has to say. Can I identify him?”

Since I was the direct victim in this case, the police didn’t make things too difficult for me.

And, of course, I wanted to know who was behind Vivian. The faster we found the truth, the better.

Without concrete evidence, the Carson family wouldn’t believe a word from me, an outsider.

Entering the interrogation room’s surveillance area, I finally saw Grover,

He looked drained, but seemed far more relaxed now, probably because he knew his daughter had been saved.

The police asked him about Vivian, and he was quick to spill everything.

He said, “Well, there’s this boss with the surname Carson who took an interest in her. She became rich, so she didn’t want me or the kid anymore.

“It’s probably Jude, right? Who else could give her that much money?”

He added, “I only looked for her after seeing a news article posted by her friend. That’s when I realized she became someone’s mistress and was flaunting her wealth. Her daughter was in preschool, and she didn’t even have enough to pay for that, so of course, I wanted to ask her for child support.”

It wasn’t Vivian who sought him out. It was Grover who went looking for her.

But since Vivian had hooked herself onto Jude, she clearly didn’t want to acknowledge her past, even denying her own daughter.

I had gone from shocked to completely indifferent by now.

Vivian had proven herself to be quite a schemer, and Jude wasn’t a fool. If he’d been fooled for so long, it only meant that she was really quite clever.

Grover cried loudly, “She even threatened to call the police, saying she was a rich woman and the police would only believe her. She’d have me locked up.

“I can’t go to jail! If I do, what will happen to my daughter?”

One of the officers slammed the table. “Grover, you’d better tell the truth! You’re asking for money for your kid, right?

“Don’t think we don’t know anything. Have you forgotten what you’ve done? Still not being honest?”

I didn’t expect a twist in the interrogation, but after some hesitation, Grover finally confessed.

It turned out that years ago, he had accidentally run over an elderly man in his village.

It was just his bad luck. The old man had already been in poor health. Grover knocked him down lightly, and the man seemed to die from the shock.

Grover begged and promised to compensate the family, so they didn’t report the incident to the authorities.

Back in those days in the village, when an elderly person died, the family would handle everything quickly, and there wasn’t as much of an investigation. So the matter was left alone, but Grover had to pay them a monthly living allowance.

He explained, “Officer, they were really unreasonable. Later, I found out the old man had just been diagnosed with cancer and only had a few months left to live.”

He added, “I gave them 30 thousand dollars at first, but then they kept asking for more every month, saying I had to keep sending money for the kid’s college education.

“And now they want two thousand dollars a month. Where am I supposed to get that kind of money?”

Grover kept crying, and his story started to drift off topic. Eventually, the police pulled him back. “Did Vivian use this against you?”

Grover nodded heavily.

Vivian was his fellow villager. They had dated in the past, but broke up over this very issue.

Successfully unlocked!

Grover pleaded, “I really had no choice. I couldr. go to jail. My daughtests only two years old!

“Later, Vivian gave me money, saying that if I helped her, I’d never have to worry about money again.”

He added, “She said once her people took power, she could even send my daughter abroad. I was doing it for my daughter, for my daughter!”

Chapter 86 The Last Mission

I couldn’t listen to him anymore. I just felt sorry for their daughter.

I remembered what she looked like in the photo. She had attractive eyes and a pretty face. She really looked like Vivian.

But unfortunately, this father who claimed to be doing everything for his daughter was actually just thinking about himself, He’d been talking for so long in the interrogation, and yet he never even asked how his daughter was doing. It was truly

ironic.

I couldn’t take any more of his pointless rambling. I left the surveillance room and went out into the hallway.
